History
The US Marine Corps launched a military operation to clear Baghdad's Saddam Square and the nearby mosque and neighborhoods of Iraqi insurgents in July 2008, and they sent a squad of soldiers to handle the mission. The American troops engaged the insurgents in bloody urban warfare with the terrorists. The result of the operation was a US victory, with several insurgents being killed; however, Saddam Square was never successfully taken over by the Americans, and the operation was only a victory for the Americans in terms of casualties inflicted on the enemy.
